Trap Shooting

[fabsroman]

Depends on how quickly she will take targets. Me, I am a little slow, so I tend to use modified at the 16 yard line and if I am shooting doubles I use modified and full or modified and light full. With those chokes, I have yet to sit in disbelief at a miss (i.e., I know why I missed it and am never thinking that my pattern is not tight enough).

Obviously, your best bet is to pattern the gun and see how it does with the choke and load, but I know that isn't always possible. If she is inexperienced, give her a slightly tighter choke than necessary so that she will know when she is on and when she is off. What would really suck for a beginner is missing because of open patterns and then thinking they are doing something wrong becasue of it. There is nothing worse than second guessing yourself while shooting. With all my shooting and hunting, I try to make sure that there is no question about my equipment performance. That way, whenever there is a screw up, I know it was me.
